Common Questions
Everything you need to know about certified asset recovery in Chicago
How is asset value determined?
Asset valuation considers equipment age, condition, specifications, and current secondary market pricing. We evaluate functional status, cosmetic condition, and configuration against market demand for similar equipment. Valuation reports include make, model, serial numbers, and fair market value calculations for audit and tax documentation purposes.
What happens to data on recovered equipment?
All storage devices undergo NIST 800-88 compliant data sanitization before remarketing. We perform cryptographic erasure or physical destruction depending on equipment condition and customer requirements. Certificates of destruction document serial numbers and destruction methods for audit compliance throughout Chicago and Cook County facilities. Corporate IT Directors typically expect detailed certificates of destruction for audit reviews, included in every STS service engagement.

About STS Electronic Recycling
Where your equipment is processed.
STS Electronic Recycling, Inc. is headquartered in Jacksonville, Texas, and has served schools, businesses, healthcare systems, and government agencies across all 50 states since 2011.
Equipment collected in Chicago is staged locally and transported to one of our two R2v3 certified processing facilities in Jacksonville, Texas and Houston, Texas, where all data destruction and material recovery takes place.
Collection, transport and processing are staffed by STS crews rather than subcontracted to a third-party carrier, which is why the chain of custody holds from your dock to the certificate.
